Horror Cinema Classics RPG

Created by Wayward Studios

Step into the chilling world of Horror Cinema Classics, a role-playing game that plunges players into the eerie, neon-lit nightmares of 1980s horror movies. Will you be the one to rewrite the script or fall victim to the horrors waiting in the shadows?

Latest Updates from Our Project:

That's a wrap! or is it?

Wow! you really stepped up and showed your support for our game of horror and mayhem. Thanks to you, we are able to not only put together a great book, we will be bringing in some amazing authors. Tim Snider, Stephen Newton, Bob Brinkman, and Jon Hook Will all be adding their own brand of horror to the game. A sincere thank you from all of us for getting behind our project!

So, what's next? First and foremost, the Dark Council will be writing and playtesting. We have reached out to several artists to start working towards bringing our vision to life. We've been in contact with printers to find the best fit for our needs. We are also working on putting the final touches on the quick start reference and the adventure, Do You Know Where Your Children Are? Remember, Play the game, take pictures and send them to us so that we can post them on our social media and we'll send you another adventure to play in December. We will continue to keep you all posted on the progress and show off some of the great art as it starts to come in. 

Oh, you missed the crowdfunding and are now suffering from a little FOMO? We got you covered. We will be opening a Late Backer/Pre-Order store right here on Backerkit. More on that once we get it up and running.

For now, we're taking the weekend to celebrate the success of this project. I hope you'll take the time to celebrate with us!

Thanks from the Dark Council,
Mark, Randy, Andy, and Eric

Stretch goal #6 unlocked!

Just a quick update as we recover from a fantastic time at Gamehole Con. We had the opportunity to playtest several adventures and roll dice with friends, old and new. While at the con we hit another stretch goal! Backers will now receive a map of Tangled Root Valley, the sight for some current and future adventures. In addition, backers will receive a pad of character sheets for both 0 level (Extras) and leveled characters.

We are less than 48 hours from the end of this campaign. If you haven't backed it yet, now is the time!
A huge thank you to those who have already backed us! We still have a couple stretch goals to reach, so let's keep going!

Every new backer helps us get more Horror Cinema Classic content for you! Thank you all for your continued support.

We are thrilled to announce a collaboration with Dirty Woods to offer you custom HCC dice boxes. These boxes are available as an add-on. They are made from cherry wood. The cover is a black and red resin and the interior is a red felt. And they are gorgeous!

Next stretch goal unlocked. Summoning Bob Brinkman from the Darkness
about 1 year ago – Sun, Oct 12, 2025 at 07:30:59 PM

You did it again! Thanks to your support Bob Brinkman will be writing The House on Larson Lane for us! But hey! Let's not stop here. We still have Jon Hook's adventure to add to the catalog. Jon is bringing us back to high school with Class Dismembered. Check out the blurb below. This is definitely one we want to see written!

Class Dismembered - The Biology field trip to the city morgue for the seniors of Savini High School goes horribly wrong when the Batesville Butcher strikes! With zero forensic leads for the police to investigate, the Batesville Butcher is little more than an urban legend, but for these students, he's become a harsh and sticky reality. Do you have the guts to survive the butcher's knife? 

Again, thanks for your support. If you haven't backed yet, now is the time!
